<p>A friend’s daughter chose not to go to Mizzou-J school for the same reasons you have. She wasn’t 100% sure that journalism would be her path and the rest of the school just wasn’t at the same level academically. Wellesley and NU would both be great choices. If you want to go out of your comfort zone, try W. If you want to stick with something you know well, go with NU.</p>
